AEM UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP & FELLOWSHIP RECIPIENTS
Christopher Hansen Scholarship
Henry Menken
The Eric W. Harslem Scholarship for Aerospace Engineering
Ryan Allen
I am a non-traditional student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics with a minor in Astrophysics. I am grateful and honored to have received the
Eric W. Harslem Scholarship. After graduation, I hope to enter the space sector and continue
my work with liquid rocket engines and solid motors. I have very much enjoyed my time with the AEM Department and am excited for what the future holds!

Alfonso Lanauze-Baez
I am currently a fourth-year student studying Aerospace Engineering. Receiving this scholarship is incredibly important to me since it lessens my financial burden and allows me to continue pursuing my education here
at the University of Minnesota. After graduation, I hope to get a job in the space industry and pursue a master's degree later in my career. One field that I find interesting and would love to pursue is hypersonics.
Gabriel Lundin
I am a graduating Aerospace Engineering senior, with minors in Astrophysics and Computer Science. This scholarship is extremely important to me because it would be impossible for me to attend college without it.
I cannot thank the donors enough for this opportunity, and I hope I will someday be able to help a college student in the same way they have helped me. In the future, I plan to attend graduate school and earn a Ph.D. in Aerospace. Afterward, I will hopefully secure employment with an agency such as NASA or begin teaching at a college level. Through my work and
research, I want to pursue my interests in deep space travel and colonization. My goal is to help reduce costs and increase accessibility of space travel so that anyone, no matter their background, has the opportunity to partake in this field.
Ebise Teshale
My name is Ebise Teshale and I
am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. After graduation, I plan to go to graduate school and pursue
a Ph.D. I was very encouraged by the Robert H. & Marjorie F. Jewett Fund
Scholarship and it helped alleviate some of my financial burdens. I am grateful to the AEM Department and my professors for awarding me this scholarship.

John and Robert McCollom Memorial Scholarship
Feodor Blinnikov
I am a junior in AEM, with an interest in dynamics, control theory, and fluid mechanics. It is a great honor to have my academic efforts appreciated,
and I couldn't be happier with the
opportunity I’ve been given to pursue my dreams. There’s no way I could be making this
journey alone, though. I’d like to thank all my professors for their wisdom and assistance, and all the great
people I’ve met in my classes so far for their insight and companionship. My future plans currently include at least some level of further education to deepen
my engineering expertise, before I branch out and hopefully make some strides into the aerospace industry. Thank you!
